Over the hills and through the woods...

This past weekend we went to see Wes' parents. We celebrated Pop's birthday. Pop's has been wanting a light up palm tree. The whole family has looked everywhere, for several years, for one of these but we haven't been able to find one. Well, Wes found one on Craig's List last week! (Talk about perfect timing.) It had never been open! The box had a price of $50.oo but Wes got it for $20.oo. Pop's L-O-V-E-D it! The hardest part will be deciding where to put it. They had talked about putting it on the dock at the lake or on their screened in porch at home. Maybe they need two. One for the porch and one for the dock. :)
While we where visiting, Wes went out on Saturday to play golf and eat pizza with some guys from back home. One of the guys is getting married next weekend and they wanted to have one last night out. We'll go back to Apex this weekend for the wedding.
Nana spoiled Rachel good this weekend! She went shopping and bought Rachel some really nice outfits. Several sweaters and dresses! We are so excited and proud of her new clothes. I believe Wes' niece, Alyssa, helped pick out some of the things. The brown sweater with the pink poka-dots is to cute Alyssa! Thank you!

Pop's putting together the palm tree. You can see Rachel is now getting into everything.


Pop's didn't waste anytime plugging it in. It is really cool. I think it will look great on the dock or porch.
